Do you want to get in shape but don’t know where to start?

Feel stuck in your exercise routine and aren’t making progress?

Want to learn more about how to live a fit and healthy life?

Then a personal trainer is your answer!

There are many benefits to working with a personal trainer. Their knowledge and experience in the realm of physical health and fitness can
be extremely helpful in numerous ways. Here are just 7 reasons you may consider hiring a personal trainer:

#1: Safety

Amidst the exercises, machines, and gym equipment is the potential for an injury to occur. Additionally, certain exercises pose risks to hurting yourself if not done in a safe and correct way. Trainers teach the usage of each equipment piece as well as educate on proper exercise technique so that risk turns into reward.

#2: Goal Setting

Its hard to exercise when you aren’t sure what exactly you are trying to improve. That’s why personal trainers work with their clients to set short and long term goals that meet are realistic and attainable.

Wellness Center COVID-Safe Plan

COVID-safe We thank you for your continued patience and understanding while we follow State and County regulations for your safety. We know you have many questions about what to expect! This communication should prepare you for your return to the gym. As always, please don’t hesitate to contact us with any additional questions or concerns. You will find all necessary contact information at the conclusion of this communication.

Our goal is to make the Wellness Center a safe place that is in compliance with state and local healthcare officials. We will follow guidelines and policies outlined by Appalachian Regional Healthcare System and the Governor’s office.

Locker Rooms

MASKS MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES IN THE LOCKER ROOMS, except while in the shower stall. This includes TO & FROM the shower, and TO & FROM the pool.
Social distancing is required in the locker room space.
Each member must assume this risk: The locker rooms are the most dangerous part of the Wellness Center as it relates to Covid-19, due to a higher humidity, limited amount of air flow, and historic difficulty in the ability to maintain social distancing. You enter the locker rooms at your own risk. If you are worried about the risk associated with the locker room, we invite you to use one of the other lockers on the 2nd floor to store your belongings.

Group Exercise Classes and Weight Room

Masks must be worn at all times in our facility.
You can remove your mask while actively engaged in exercise if you can maintain a social distance of at least 10 feet in all directions. This includes while in a group class, using cardio equipment, and while actively exercising in the weight room.
Group exercise classes have capacities set so that each participant can maintain social distance.
Reservations for classes can be made online, via our member app, or by calling the Front Desk.
